WILD BILLY EARP?
A trio of Old Wild West legends ... Wild Bill Hickok ... Billy the Kid ... Wyatt Earp ... morphed into one? Well, kind of ... but how can such an amalgamation be justified?
It is not literal, of course. Their stories have been told many times before, but not quite like this. All three followed similar paths in the same era of violence and lawlessness, each making their mark in such a way that they still draw attention in the modern world.
The relationship between them and what they represent almost makes them a single unit. In these pages, you can join a dedicated, passionate, and thorough historian on their trail, traversing the places they once rode, walked, and fought, exploring their actions and motives authentically and in depth.
It is one hell of a ride and might just convince you to regard those old time shootists in a totally new light.
